Dr. Jing TANG
Tenure-Track Assistant Professor University of Copenhagen
My research focuses on understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics and associated feedbacks under changing climate. I have primarily specialised in process-based ecosystem modelling, and have extensive experience in developing and applying different models, and also integrating observation-based data for different modelling purposes and/or answering different research questions.
My research background includes:
studying processes regulating ecosystem fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) and CO2, and quantifying biochemical feedbacks of BVOC and CO2 fluxes to the atmosphere; and
exploring vegetation-water-carbon interactions within terrestrial ecosystems and process interactions between land and aquatic ecosystems with the linkage of soil-leached dissolved matters.

My research explores how arctic plant photosynthesis activities and BVOC emissions acclimate to different growing temperatures and how acclimation processes influence plant responses to different strengths of heatwaves?
I conduct fieldwork and laboratory experiments to answer these questions, and the derived response curves will be integrated into the dynamic ecosystem model, LPJ-GUESS, to assess the large-scale impacts of these thermal responses.

PhD student (04/2024-)
I am looking at land-lake interactions in the pan-Arctic to understand how these dynamics affect catchment- and regional-scale C dynamics. Currently I am working on introducing a lake module to the LPJ-GUESS model by integrating the biogeochemical lake model, ALBM. I am also working with field data (biogeochemical variables from lakes and surroundings) from different locations to evaluate model results. Lastly I aim to quantify lakes' contribution to the terrestrial C balance in the pan-Arctic, now and in the future.
Hongliang Ma University of Copenhagen
Postdoc (09/2024-)
My interests include remote sensing for terrestrial ecological key parameters (i.e., soil moisture, vegetation water, biomass and temperature), and couplings with ecosystem models
Shouzhi Chen Beijing Normal University
co-supervised PhD student (2022-)
My main research focus is developing spring and autumn phenology module in LPJ-GUESS and assessing the effects of vegetation dynamics on cross-scale ecohydrological processes under climate change.
Hao Zhou Lund University
co-supervised PhD student (2020-)
My research focuses on introducing within-grid cell spatial heterogeneity and developing river routing among grid cells in a Dynamic Global Vegetation Model, LPJ-GUESS. I assess the impacts of these processes on regional and global carbon and nitrogen cycles.
